San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has done what NFL players often do when they're not happy with their teams: He unfollowed his team on Instagram. Aiyuk, who wants a new contract, is no longer following the 49ers' official account. As he heads into the fifth and final season of his rookie contract, Aiyuk has made no secret that he wants a long-term contract extension that would put him among the NFL's highest-paid wide receivers. A couple weeks ago, Aiyuk said he's trying to get what he deserves and questioned whether the 49ers see the value in everything he provides. There have been rumors that Aiyuk could be traded, although 49ers General Manager John Lynch responded to questions about those rumors by saying he wants to keep Aiyuk around for a long time. Asked specifically about rumors Aiyuk could be traded to Pittsburgh, Lynch answered, “I promise you, nothing’s going on there.” If he plays out the final year of his rookie contract, Aiyuk will make $14.1 million this year and then either get franchise tagged or become a free agent in March of 2025. Aiyuk would prefer to get a big deal now from the 49ers — or from some other team that's willing to trade for him and pay him.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
